[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3686271, member: 45328"] I worked in a small town Fire Department. the fire Station was the hang out for many cops, city, country and state. We usually had a pitch game, and bull session, going, One old Tulsa Country Deputy had some really good stories, he had collected over many years. One was about Jelly Bryce, an Oklahoma boy that became famous among law men in the 30's until he retired from the FBI, I think in the 1960's! This guy was a master with a pistol, and could do some implossable feats according to the many stories. His methods of quick draw, and fast, accurate shooting, are still taught in the FBI and many, many, police accadimes to this day. So the story goes, the name Jelly came from a bad man he killed when hs was a city cop in, I think OKC, and was just 18 or 19 years old, They changed the age rules to hire him. Bryce killed this guy in a shoot out, and the guy said before dying, " OF all the tough men I have killed, and to get killed by a Jelly roll kid like you! The name stuck! According to this Deputy, Jelly Bryce was the only agent the FBI ever hired without a collage degree, reported directly to Hoover, and if Hoover thought someone needed killing, he sent Jelly Bryce to take care of the problem! Look him up, a fascinating story, about what was likley the fastest gun that ever lived!!! [/QUOTE]
